prove that in parallogram ,opposite angle are equal
Answers
Proof:
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.
To Prove: The opposite sides are equal, AB = CD and BC = AD.
In parallelogram ABCD, compare triangles ABC and CDA. In these triangles:
AC = CA (common side)∠BAC = ∠DCA (alternate interior angles)∠BCA = ∠DAC (alternate interior angles)
Hence by the ASA criterion, both the triangles are congruent and the corresponding sides are equal. Therefore we have AB = CD, and BC = AD.
Answer:
Here, ABCD is a parallelogram with AC as its diagonal.
We know, in parallelogram opposites sides are parallel.
So, AB∥DC and AD∥BC
Since, AB∥DC and AC is the transversal
⇒ ∠BAC=∠DCA ---- ( 1 ) [ Alternate angles ]
Similarly, AD∥BC and AC is the transversal.
⇒ ∠DAC=∠BCA ---- ( 2 ) [ Alternate angles ]
Adding ( 1 ) and ( 2 ),
⇒ ∠BAC+∠DAC=∠DCA+∠BCA
⇒ ∠BAD=∠DCB
Similarly, we can prove, ∠ADC=∠ABC
∴ We have proved that, opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
